    I find myself doing that from time to time, and I just make up those calories by splurging on eating out. Some people actually log calories by week rather than each day. So you can always have days under goal and some days over, and at the end of your week it will balance out.

    If you find yourself having that much trouble with 400 remaining calories, you can always just add 100 extra for the next 4 days. Just find what works best for you.

    I'm seriously confused. If you were severely undereating and wanted to reach your goal, why on EARTH did you only make a scant half-sandwich of mostly lettuce?

    She wasn't undereating, duh. At least you acknowledge that it was a sandwich. She wasn't hungry any more. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe she ate too much the day before. Maybe she'll eat more tomorrow. You don't know. Stop judging.

    Take a look at your macros? What is the balance of carbs to fats to protein? Look for the one that is light and boost it with a healthy choice. :)

    She under-ate for ONE day, and asked if she should force herself to eat more, and everyone is making her out to be anorexic. Sheesh!

    Some of the comments on here put me off of posting again another time......I thought the idea was to help and support. Obviously we are not all like minded. But thank you to the people who have given good, sound advice and those on my wavelength.

    if its a random day and youre not hungry, dont worry about it.

    if you are hungry - or like me and just could pretty much ALWAYS eat SOMETHING - get some ice cream or a glass of wine or whatever you normally WANT but might not EAT....
